Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

Game of Destiny

Chapter 16-1

The week and a half both passed by quickly and seemed to stretch for an eternity. Laura turned out to be a natural at waiting. tables and she soaked in what, I had to teach her in no time. It eased my guilty conscience a little, as I knew I wouldn’t be ditching Mrs Jones and CeCe with a heavier workload. My last shift in the diner was an evening shift and as soon as the last paying customer had eaten their dinner, Mis Jones announced the diner was closed. my surprise, most of the town then flooded in as CeCe announced it was my goodbye party. It was a wonderful evening and even got a little teary–eyed a couple of times. CeCe and Jessie insisted they would come over to help me pack my car the following morning, even though I told them I would get help. In the end, I ran out of excuses and agreed they could come over. I don’t think could have kept them away even if I had said no. It was their way of trying to assess if they felt 1 was safe with Finlay or not. It was sweet. 1 had a hard time sleeping, my stomach was filled with nervous butterflies and my wolf was giddy with excitement.

My alarm went off at seven am and 1 got up. I parked the bedding box I had saved for it and then headed down to the bakery. Mrs Andresen had promised to make me breakfast so I wouldn’t have to dirty any of my kitchen things my last morning. I carried in the two sacks of flour 1 always helped her with and she offered me veral froshly made muffins and some delicious coffee. As I was enjoying it and chit chatting with Mrs Andersen, I heard a car arrive, but it didn’t sound like Finlay’s truck. I headed out back to investigate. To my surprise, it wasn’t just Finlay that had arrived. He was leaning against an unknown truck with Sam and Medow. Medow squealed when she saw me and ran to give me a tight hug. I bughed and hugged her back.

“I have missed you,” Medow said.

“I have missed you too. But I didn’t expect you to come here,” I replied.

“I know, but when Finlay said he would get you, we thought…” Medow began but got interrupted by Sam clearing his throat. Okay, okay, I thought, it would be a nice thing if we came as well,” she finished.

“I’m not objecting. But four people to move me seems a little much. At that moment, CeCe and Jessie came walking. I introduced everyone to each other and watched as Finlay and Jessie gave each other a measured look. I rolled my eyes and both CeCe and Medow giggled.

“Okay, let’s get me packed,” I told everyone before it all turned into dick measuring contest. With six people and my very limited amount of boxes, it took less than half an hour to stow everything away in the Volvo and the truck.

“I’ll be driving.” Finlay told me and held out his hand for the key to my car. I hesitated.

“I usually don’t let anyone else drive her,” I told him.

“Her?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

*Yeah, Aime has an unhealthy attachment to that car,” CeCe giggled

“Hey, me and Beula have been through a lot,” I objected.

“Beula?” Medow asked.

“It suits her,” I said and patted the sand–coloured roof. Everyone laughed.

“Are you going to tell me I can’t drive your car?” Finlay asked. The tone he used made it clear to me he was asking as my Alpha. Technically, he wasn’t my Alpha yet. But it wouldn’t be a good way to start life in his pack by pointing out technicalities like that.

“Of co

course not,” I said, tossing the keys to him.

“Thave packed doughnuts for everyone, and coffee,” Mrs Andersen said. She was walking to us holding two large bags and balancing four large to–go cups. Sam and Finlay hurried to help her. “Thank you, that’s sweet of you,” she said.

“I have packed some burgers for you to eat on the way.
